Application
Pumped storage power plants store a large amount of energy and feed it into the grid very quickly when necessary. One important parameter is the height of the water level in the reservoir. It allows calculations to be made about the amount of energy available and the existing storage volume in pump operation mode. High reliability is required from the measurement technology deployed, because the sensors are often mounted at very remote locations.
